the converter uses 5/16 bolts.
the holes in the 5.9 magnum flexplate are .050 larger than the ol stock 318 flexplate's hole.
is this gonna be a problem?
the converter snout is lined up by the crank...correct?
will the extra .050 clearance be like a sloppy u joint,and be a problem upon acceleration and decceleration...or will it be ok once tightened?
ive found that others have hogged out the one flexplate hole (to compensate for the offset converter lug) and gotten away with it,but never heard any mention of the different bolt size.
im trying to use up the extra junk i got laying around. its a 1997 5.9 engine/flexplate,and a 1971 904 converter/trans.
thinking about slappin er together an see if it works...anybody been here before?
5/16 bolts in what seems to be 7/16 or maybe even metric holes?
